Politician calls Islam 'cult': Church to burn Quran

Has it gotten that ugly for Christians in United States?

clipped from content.usatoday.com According to Religion News Service, the church is planning "International Burn A Quran Day," on the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks this year -- smack during Eid al-Fitr, the Islamic feast days at the conclusion of the Ramadan fast. Jones tells him this is not about hate but about Christian truth -- and bringing Muslims to convert. Brent Michael Dykes, blogging at Yahoo's The Upshot, observes Christians might be surprised to discover the Quran mentions Jesus 25 times and considers him a prophet, great spiritual leader and teacher. This also adds fuel to the anti-Islamic fires evident at mosque-building protests in New York this month.
